Another hour or so passed.

Qianqiu, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by a violent sound of vomiting. Sleepily, he stood up, saw the little princess vomiting violently, and hurriedly picked up the wooden basin: "Spit here, spit here!"

The little princess vomited for a while, and there was another puddle of black dirt, and she gradually stopped. "Gudong" took a sip. The medicine she drank this time was no longer bitter, and even a little sweet. She took a sip with satisfaction, "Not bad, a little sweet, it seems that a lot of honey was put in! Well, I am satisfied now." .”

Seeing the little princess rubbing her belly comfortably, Qianqiu smiled bitterly and said, "I put all the honey I had saved for half a year for you. Of course it won't be bitter."

The little princess felt a little tired from sitting, so she lay down, closed her eyes and said, "Let me ask you, is your name Qianqiu?"

"Yes, the name my master gave me! What's your name?"

"My name is...No! I can't tell you." The little princess suddenly opened her eyes and said to Qianqiu, "Maybe you are a bad boy!"

"Don't tell me if you don't want to. I'm not a bad boy! Also, you girls don't like to tell others your names. It's really strange. My master doesn't want to tell me his name either." Qianqiu said in confusion, "Then what shall I call you?"

"Just call me Princess Princess." The little Princess said proudly, feeling that Qianqiu was being restrained by her.

Qianqiu glanced at the little princess in front of her, stood up, and poured herself a bowl of water: "You call yourself the princess, and you asked me to call you the princess, are you..."

"Yes! My father is..." The little princess suddenly thought of all her experiences today, and thought that there should be more secrets between humans and monsters. Naturally, she became wary again and stopped talking.

Qianqiu thought to himself: "I heard the master said that everyone has a father and mother. After listening to what this little girl said, I guess the master did not lie to me. Then I thought, everyone has a father and a mother, so why don't I have a father and mother?" Then he fell silent. .

"What's wrong with you?" The little princess saw that Qianqiu had stopped talking, thinking that her lack of honesty had made him lonely. This situation made her a little nervous for no reason.

"It's nothing. It's great that you have parents. It's different for me. I only have a master." Qianqiu replied with a forced smile.

The little princess looked at Qianqiu and apologized sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Qianqiu took a sip of water, smiled and said generously: "It doesn't matter."

"Then let's make friends. I'm sorry, it's okay, good friends, don't be angry." The little princess felt much more at ease and said a jingle she had learned when she was a child.

"Friends? Yes, Princess, we are friends." Although Qianqiu didn't know why the little girl in front of him wanted to be friends with him, he couldn't help but agreed seeing her cute appearance.

The little princess nodded with satisfaction and slowly closed her eyes.

...

The rooster crows at dawn, and a new day officially begins with the rising sun. The gentle sunshine penetrated into the small thatched house and woke up the little princess who was sleeping lightly. Throughout the night, she suffered from vomiting once an hour, but fortunately, the remaining bat poison in her body was basically eliminated.

She sat up and saw the ghost gourd next to the bed. She hurriedly tied it again, thinking: "If this magic weapon is lost, dad will be furious." After tying the gourd, she got down to the ground and looked around. Qianqiu was no longer in the house, and she felt a little anxious.

"Master, you have to give me a few more contract talismans. After sending her home later, I plan to go to Beipo to check the situation." Qianqiu's voice came to my ears in the courtyard outside the house.

When the little princess heard this voice, she felt inexplicably at ease for some reason.

"Ouch!" Then the little princess heard him whisper, followed by a woman's voice: "Bad boy, do you think the contract talisman is papyrus? You can pick it up on the roadside? Just reach out and you can make a contract. The magic weapon of a spiritual beast is so precious and takes a long time to be refined."

The little princess couldn't help but burst into laughter. It seemed that the boy had been beaten by the master. She stood up and pushed the door out. When she looked up, she saw what the courtyard looked like: the spacious courtyard was covered with withered yellow leaves. There was a small rough-made stone table and several small stools placed against the fence. There are some snacks and bright wild fruits on it. On the flat ground directly in front stood Qianqiu and a tall masked woman, who must be the master Qianqiu mentioned.

"Liar! You said that gray contract talismans can only be signed with low-level spiritual beasts. It is very common. Last time you generously gave me five of them, but now you are reluctant to do so!" Qianqiu replied unconvinced.

"I've given you so many contract talismans, have you ever succeeded? Either you ran away when you encountered a spiritual beast that you couldn't defeat, or you made a mistake in the spell's attributes and let the spiritual beast run away. What's most frustrating to me is I'm so angry that you brought back an ordinary little wild boar again. You want to bring an ordinary animal to subjugate the monster? Is it the monster that subdues you or you subdue the monster?" When the master heard Qianqiu's answer, he became even more angry. Come.

The little princess smiled brighter when she saw her teaching Qianqiu a lesson, and couldn't help but make a sound.

The two people who were arguing looked at her and found that the little princess had come out.

Qianqiu did not answer the master's words and ran over: "My lord, you are awake. You must be hungry. There are some snacks on the table over there. You can eat them first. I will take you home later." "

"He is very attentive to beauties." The master teased from behind.

"She and I are friends. Shouldn't we be more enthusiastic towards our friends? You taught me this," Qianqiu said confidently.

The little princess looked at Qianqiu, nodded slightly, walked towards the master, cupped her fists and thanked: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life."

The master waved his hand, walked to the stone table, and sat down: "No need to thank me, it was that boy who picked you up. You can eat something for now, and let him take you back to the demon world later."

As soon as these words came out, the little princess and Qianqiu were stunned at the same time. What is strange to the little princess is that she has clearly used the ghost gourd to hide the demonic aura, and it is impossible for a human magic master to see through it, but Qianqiu's master can actually see that she is a demon. What Qianqiu didn't understand was that this little girl was obviously a human being, and he couldn't smell a trace of monster energy. The master actually asked him to send her back to the monster world. Wasn't it obvious that he was sending her to feed monsters?

The little princess was frightened and asked cautiously: "Senior, how did you know..."

"Don't worry, there are good monsters, and there are evil people. I will not kill you just because you are a monster. And your monster energy is pure and has no killing intent. I will not embarrass you." The master comforted you. .

"Thank you, senior." The little princess handed over her hand. The woman in front of her was so reasonable and different from the bad guys she met before, and her worries were immediately relieved.

"Wow! You are actually a goblin!" Qianqiu pointed at the little princess in disbelief and said.

The little princess glanced at the surprised Qianqiu and raised her hair with her hand: "What's wrong? Will you dislike me because I'm a goblin?"

"That's not true. I just think fairies can look good." Qianqiu pursed her lips.

"I didn't teach you to flatter you. When did you learn it, Qianqiu?" the master poked.

"No, no, master, don't talk nonsense." Qianqiu's face suddenly turned red.

The little princess smiled, looking at the unattractive-faced, blushing young man in front of her, she suddenly felt warm and felt that he was very different. At least she was different from those noble gentlemen who had been pestering her since she was a child, and were thick-skinned and smooth-talking.

She glanced at the swing next to her and ran over in surprise, sat on it and started swinging: "Did you make the swing? I also liked swinging when I was a child, but unfortunately it was ruined later."

Qianqiu smiled and said: "Yes, I also like to swing. If you like it, you can come and play often in the future."

The little princess's face, which was originally very happy, suddenly became sad when she heard this. After a while, she said helplessly: "My father will not let me come out casually."

"Well...it's okay, there's always a chance." Qianqiu didn't know what to say and changed the topic.

The little princess and Qianqiu played happily for a long time, chatting about a lot of weird things that they didn't know about each other. The master on the side looked at the two little guys who were chatting very congenially, and couldn't help but said: "It's good to be young."

Unconsciously, the rising sun climbed up the highest mountain, and it was already noon. After the hungry little princess finished all the snacks, Qianqiu called out: "Old Wang." As soon as she finished speaking, the tiger suddenly rushed in from outside the wooden door and shook its head at the three of them.

"Master, I feel a little strange. Usually Lao Wang is very cruel to strangers, but last night he actually asked to carry the princess back." Qianqiu couldn't help but said when she saw Lao Wang's docile look.

The master walked over and touched Lao Wang's head, and said to Qianqiu: "I don't know, maybe beauty is a cross-border thing."

When Lao Wang heard this, he actually turned around in a circle.

Seeing Lao Wang's appearance, the three of them all laughed.

The little princess walked over, looked at Old Wang, and asked the master: "Sister, is this a spiritual beast?"

The master smiled slightly and said: "You little deer, your little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey. I am much bigger than you. Lao Wang is a first-level spiritual beast, the Leaping Stream Tiger, with strong jumping ability and is very good at climbing over mountains and ridges." .”

"My lord, please don't listen to the young master's voice. Looking at her black hair reaching her waist and no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she actually..." Qianqiu was about to continue, but the master's cold words stopped him: "Shut up, mouth!"

"She has always been so young!" Qianqiu, whose desire for survival was soaring, added.

The little princess giggled when she heard this, and it was extremely funny to see Qianqiu looking deflated.

Afterwards, the little princess and Qianqiu said goodbye to their master and rode Lao Wang all the way over the mountains. On the way, the little princess shared with Qianqiu some of her experiences since leaving home. Needless to say, Qianqiu was surprised. While she felt deeply for her, she also learned a lot of experience, because when it comes to worldly experience, those who have never been out of the mountains Qianqiu is not even as good as the pampered little princess in front of her.

Lao Wang ran very fast and almost reached the border in about an hour. Finally, it stood on a high rock and looked ahead: not far ahead was the separation of the human and demon worlds - the surging river.
